Frequently Asked Questions

What is executive search?

Executive search refers to recruitment for highly-skilled senior level positions, which involves a more tedious hiring process with high levels of scrutiny to find the best people for the job.

What is retained search?

Retained search is a type of arrangement where a client pays the executive recruiting agency upfront and throughout different stages of the recruitment process. Retained search is built on consistent collaboration, communication, and feedback from the client.

Difference between retained & contingent search

In retained search, the hiring agency is paid at various stages of the recruitment process, whereas in contingent search, the agency is paid only upon making a successful hire.

Recruitment vs executive search

Recruitment usually involves a high volume of candidates to fill entry-level roles, but executive search is recruiting high-calibre candidates for senior level roles.

Why do recruiting firms need executive search software?

Even though executive search doesn't involve high volume of candidates like traditional recruitment, the candidates you are looking for will be from senior levels and have more years of experience. The stakes of executive recruitment is also high, so you cannot afford to make mistakes. Software allows you to automate most of your process and gives more time to recruiters for making real connections and accurate decisions. Software can also pave the way for seamless candidate experience.

Why is Zoho Recruit the best executive search software?
